The Royals are not going to give up Myers for Holland. I don't think Moore is that dumb. I really don't think the Indians are going to give up Cabrera and the main piece they get back is Bauer or Skaggs with some spare pieces in Moreland and McDonald/Pennington. And the Rangers will have to give up more than just Moreland, Holland, and Olt for Upton.

Throw in some prospects then? I don't know. I was just taking a shot at speculation. You could probably switch Shields and Holland in their prospective final destination, but then I think the Royals would have to give up more and I don't think they're willing to trade Gordon/Butler/Moustakas. Maybe Hosmer though.

These are very conflicting. If I'm the Rangers, I'd do the deal and be thankful it didn't cost us Leonys Martin.

Be that the case, as I said earlier, you could switch where Holland and Shields end up. However, that would likely mean the Royals would have to give up Myers and Hosmer. I wouldn't do the trade if I'm the Royals, but I think Moore would.

What are you talking about? Martin has been one of the Ranger's top prospects the last couple years and, if you guys get Upton, will likely be your starting center fielder next year.

I have the feeling Martin's bat is going to be bad in the MLB. I'm not alone either, and he probably means more to the Rangers than other teams at this point. If he came up and set the world on fire in his first 60 PAs it would probably be a different story.
